Arrest warrants say Kimrey moved Mariah Woods' body from where she died, knowing her death was not natural.

Onslow County deputies say they charged 32-year-old Earl Kimrey with concealing a death.

Though the girl's body has not been found, ongoing searches for her have now turned into a recovery process.

Earlier on Friday FBI forensic teams were testing "items of interest" in their desperate search for Mariah. The search for Mariah entered a fifth day Friday. Woods said her boyfriend, Kimrey, also checked on her around midnight. "Our goal is to talk to every person who lives in Mariah's neighborhood", authorities said Thursday.

"We all hoped and prayed to find her alive".

A statement from the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Friday's initial search finished more quickly than anticipated because of the number of people who turned out. "They're doing all that they can do and they feel helpless". We have got to find her. He told investigators the girl woke up and he told her to go back to sleep. Mariah's family has said that the 3-year-old struggles to get around on her own and wears leg braces for assistance.
